Ventral Hernia Repair - Small Umbilical Hernia without mesh by George Crawford, MD
Procedure Overview
Procedure Overview
SUMMARY:
Ventral hernias can be categorized as incisional, umbilical, or epigastric. Small ventral hernias can be repaired by excising the hernia sac and closing the fascia with suture, without using a mesh.
INDICATIONS & OBJECTIVES:
Ventral hernia repair may be indicated to prevent or address symptoms related to the hernia such as pain, acute incarceration, enlargement, and skin problems.
The most common sites for ventral hernias are the navel (an umbilical hernia) and the site of a previous abdominal procedure (incisional hernia).
